Dandelion Throwback

One of the first photos I ever took on my Nikon One and to be honest, still one of my favourites. I know it's very simple and I was only getting to grips with how to use the camera but I still really love it for some reason!

Tie Dye and Galaxies

I was creeping through insta tags the other day and I came across this wee gem of an account that's run by the lovely Gina who's based in Dublin.

The gorgeous tie dye tops were what caught my attention so I followed the link to her Etsy shop (which you can find here). I always find Etsy to be hit and miss because although you can pretty easily find gorgeous pieces of jewellery or clothes or whatever you're looking for, the prices can sometimes be a bit steep. However I was delighted to find that was absolutely not the case here, Gina's products are all very reasonable! I treated myself to the Yin Yang Tie Dye T-Shirt which was less than €20 including shipping! Gina messaged me almost immediately after I placed the order regarding sizes, she was efficient and absolutely lovely to deal with.

This is the top as it was displayed on Gina's Etsy shop (A+ for the display, professional but still laid back which is seems to be a key feeling for Gina's pieces).

And this is my top, I went for a large so it'd be baggy enough to wear with leggings and I just layered my amethyst crystal necklace with my Buddha pendant, threw on my mint Vans and ta-da! Simple, comfy as hell and still cute as hell into the bargain. Perfect for warmer weather because I prefer laid back styles with minimal effort when the suns out.

I also ordered this crescent moon galaxy pendant which I'm in love with! (Pic credit to Gina's insta)

The colours are just as, if not more, vivid in real life which I was so happy with, plus such a bargain at €6 including shipping.

Proud to be a supporter of not only the little guy but also of Irish products, gotta look out for your own!

Head over here to Gina's Etsy shop and place your order ASAP and get into those tie dye summer vibes *peace sign emoji*

Amethyst Fo' Dayz

I've always been a massive fan of Wicked Clothes, they always have such unusual jewellery and clothing and I've always been delighted with the quality of anything I've ordered from them. This little piece is by far my favourite though! It's a piece of raw amethyst on a gold chain which can be purchased here (it's currently on sale for $19.99 so hop to it!).

According to the reviews, the size of stone you get varies from order to order so it's the luck of the draw, you can see a selection of the different sizes below.

I got quite lucky with mine, the stone is a nice size and very good quality. The length of the chain was a bit shorter than I expected, mine hangs about an inch below the lowest point of my collar bone but even though I would've preferred a longer chain, I really love this piece.

As the daughter of a reiki and seichim master, I can definitely appreciate the holistic aspect of amethyst as well the aesthetic. Among other traits, amethyst is believed to enhance creativity and passion, protect travellers on their journeys, relieve stress and increase tranquility.

My package arrived within two weeks (not bad considering it was coming from the states) and the necklace came in a gorgeous little drawstring cloth bag, perfect presentation if you wanted to give any of their products as a gift.

Definite 10/10 for this necklace and five stars for Wicked Clothes!
